If Islanders are trying to show Tavares they will surround him with talent what would Isle fans offer for Patches, what would Habs fans want in return?
I'd want a blue-chip center prospect (Ho-Sang) and a puck-moving D prospect (lower value than Ho-Sang... Aho?), but of course Isles fans will automatically refuse such a trade here.
Barzal hasn't played more than 2 games in the NHL, De Haan is a good top 4 LHD and the first will be around 20th overall if Paches plays with Tavares... Thr guy puts up 35 goals 65+ pts a year on average, imagine with Tavy feed him
